Re: Tornado Warning Sirens

The wind blew and the sh!t flew but all is well. We had lots of rain with thunder and lightening. But as far as I know there were no tornadoes here. I did see on TV that there are lots of folks without electricity and damage south of here. I don't know if there were tornadoes or if the damage was from high winds. I haven't heard that there were any tornadoes.

Glad you made it through okay. Is there a place to go, storm cellar?

No basement or storm cellar...but, I have a small hallway that is totally encircled by rooms that are outside walls and not on an outside wall itself. I think that is probably the safest place in my house. The closest outside wall to that little hallway is probably about 15 feet. I actually fell asleep in my recliner with Sweet Arabella on my lap...there was a big clap of thunder that scared her so much she must have jumped 4 feet in the air...pushing off with her black claws and scratching the heck out of one of my legs.

Re: Tornado Warning Sirens

I am such a Pollyanna that I never think or expect that anything bad will happen to me...

When I lived in Louisiana, I had a friend who was a "weather nut" (said affectionately of course) who was somewhere between Al Roker and our beloved BP. Anyway, living in Louisiana there were constant tornado watches/warnings during certain times of the year...anyway, they seemed to come often at night...he would call me to make sure I knew about it...and caution me for about the millionth time how to prepare for it, etc. Well, I'd just put on my JP, including the bottoms so just in case I would be covered up and decently presented, go to bed and then go to sleep...the next morning he'd asked me, were you able to get any sleep with the thunder and lightening, etc....of course, I did...I can sleep through anything.
